Encrypted RunAs : An application which let users run restricted programs without having to make them members of the Power Users or Administrator groups
Encrypted RunAs is a small tool that is created to make the job of Administrators a little easier being used to run applications or software installations with access rights a standard user does not have.
Why Encrypted RunAs?
When you work with computers you will soon come across software that will not work with limited user rights.Normally you would have to either add the user to the administrators or Power User group or find why the software requires administrative rights in the first place, this could be due to many reasons ie, trying to access the local machine registry, registering a dll or ocx control etc etc.With Encrypted RunAs installed, a shortcut to an application can be created that uses an account on the local machine that has administrator rights. Therefore only giving rights that are required for the application to run correctly and not the whole machine.As an additional security factor, the program uses a CRC fingerprint, to make sure that the program launched is indeed the one that it was intended for, and also verifies the account. Encrypted RunAs also creates files that can be called from logon scripts.
